Going into ITEC 7445 Multimedia and Web Design I was very excited to put my previous experience with Web 2.0 tools and various technology formats in my classroom to good use. I have always found that my students learn best when they are presented information using some form of technology. Their level of engagement is always higher when they are designing their own webpage or using an app to create a project. Having some prior knowledge with multimedia and web design I have found myself being the go to guy when my coworkers have a technology question or issue.
ITEC 7445 allowed me the opportunity to expand my knowledge and to experiment with many apps and tools that I had not used before. I then felt more confident in sharing the material learned in this course with my coworkers and class. I found all of the projects and material presented to be authentic and meaningful to my style of learning and teaching. Technology is such a key element in the 21st century classroom and I feel sure that it will become more prominent in the near future. It is my belief that growing my students confidence in the use of technology and the application that it has in the classroom will only serve to make them more successful as they progress in the school system and eventually into the workplace. ITEC 7445 did not disappoint and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to advance their knowledge of technology and its many uses in the classroom as well the rules and regulations that must be followed in order to observe copyright laws.
